Here she comes to save the day! It's Condi: Update: Truce Broken
By John Amato Tuesday Aug 12, 2008 4:05pm 
Update: CNN is reporting that the truce has been broken. Not that Russia honored the first one anyway. Tanks are on the move. The Russia-Georgia conflict is getting worse.
Russia responded angrily to President Bush's harsh words this morning about their handling of the situation in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, where Russian and Georgian troops have been fighting since last week. "We understand that this current Georgian leadership is a special project of the United States, but one day the United States will have to choose between defending its prestige over a virtual project or real partnership which requires joint action," Lavrov said.
While the Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, was meeting at Meiendorf Castle with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, Lavrov minced no words in his criticism of Bush's remarks, calling it the work of "bad speech writers."
It looks like Bush has sent Condi Rice to play piano for Putin and look into his soul.
He announced that he will send Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Paris and then Tblisi to help negotiate the peace plan and to show the administration's "unwavering support" for the Georgian government.
"The United States stands with the democratically elected government of Georgia and insists that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia be respected," Bush said.
The pre-emptive doctrine via Bush and Cheney sure has been expanded in this instance.
Johanna Neuman takes a look at Condi also:
Russia is pounding Georgia, a small democratic country that depends on the United States for moral support. But Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a former Stanford professor specializing on the Soviet Union, is oddly absent from public view.
Rice went to Tbilisi, Georgia, in July, trying to calm the situation, seen here with President Mikheil Saakashvili at a press conference after their talks. Publicly, she talked about Georgia's "territorial integrity." State Department officials said she privately warned the Georgians not to provoke Russia.
But critics told the Wall Street Journal that Rice may not have responded quickly to Russia's muscle-flexing on Georgia's border because she has been focused elsewhere -- preoccupied with Iraq, Iran and the Arab-Israeli conflict -- and delegated the Soviet account to more junior officials..read on
McCain is getting a lot of face time on CNN---trying to milk this for all it's worth. And where is Obama?
Me, I agree with Jeff Stein, this is spin, presumably designed to excuse American impotence in the face of Russia's aggression.
A "surprise." My, oh, my.Except I don't believe it. As easy as it is to believe that the CIA, etc., blew another huge event, I find it impossible to accept that not one of the 127 Pentagon advisors in Georgia, including Special Forces and intelligence contractors, were clueless about Tblisi's intent -- and preparations -- to move into South Ossetia.That just doesn't pass the laugh test.On July 15, for starters, amid rising tension between Moscow and Tblisi over South Ossetia, some 1,200 U.S. troops launched a three-week long joint military exercise with Georgian troops. Three weeks later, on the night of Aug. 7, "coinciding with the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, Georgian President Saakashvili ordered an all-out military attack on Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia."It is simply inconceivable that the Pentagon wasn't wired to the helmets of Georgian troops, despite the denials of U.S. military officials.

Holy Crow. Talk about a smackdown, and I'm sure the Europeans are loving it. They're humiliating the Chimp.
What's he sending Condi for? As a piece offering?
Primero?
And NO...I didn't misspell it.
The chimp is out of his league.
“The United States stands with the democratically elected government of Georgia and insists that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia be respected,”
hahahaha, oh man. they almost had me with that one.
what exactly is this stupid c*nt going to do when she gets there?
what could this administration possibly have to say?
we are up to our eyeballs in ignoring sovereignty and up to our noses in backing fellow neo-con in Georgia.
Oh their sending Condi baby over to fix things huh?

Wow, So Kindasleaze is has a political science degree specializing in the former USSR?
Sort of proves my point, that disciplines like "Political Science" which can't get the basics right like its own naming (Hint: it is not a science)... tend to be out of their league when tackling more complex situations.
I mean, a secretary of State who is supposed to be a child prodigy specializing in Russian affairs was completely outmaneuvered on this one (and everything else it seems). Wow, these idiots are really that incompetent... Jesus mio!
Watching the Neocons trying to turn this into a Russia Attacked Georgia Without Provocation extravaganza.

The UN and the EU already brokered a cease fire, basically Russia got all they wanted...
She is a day late and a few dollars short, in fact all she can do is use her "reverse midas" touch and screw things. I am sure, the Europeans are begging her to not show up.
This is how incompetent these idiots are, if they don't do anything is better than if they get involved.
I think Condi could do this, I really do..

"We can solve the problem by sending more weapons and guns to Georgia. Send in the Marines and a few B-2's to take out some Russian boats as a warning. Get some javelin missiles in the hands of Georgians. Bush needs to grow some nads!"
OMG!
We're doomed. That dumb cow hasn't done anything successful as secretary of state.
Lets us pray.

L.A. Confidential @ 12:
I would like to ask the person who wrote that comment if they know anything about Russia and where do we get those Marines. I don't think they understand that fighting Russia is not like fighting the people who hate us in Iraq.
So is Bush Co going to admit they've been turned upside down and inside out with no where left to hide on this one?
Good Luck on that!
OFF TOPIC, According to CNN the Chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party has just died from his wounds of the shooting today.
The USA overthrows democratically elected governments all the time. Just another bit of two-faced bullshit from the most crooked and murderous government since hitler.
Is McCain an American or a Georgian? And how can he and Lieberman criticize Obama now?

It's all about "balls and nads" to these jerks. It hasn't quite sunk in yet they've just been neutered by Vlad and Co.

L.A. Confidential @ 12:
Yeah, I just love it when fact fucktards whose only involvement with the military is their perennial masturbation to Tom Clancy's novels think that going against Russia would be a cake walk.
Ironically it seems the Georgians pussied out and left all their US made armament behind, so now the Russians got a nice early christmas present.
Idiots....
Out of curiosity how is this situation any different from our invasion of Iraq. This is yet another reason why that invasion has destroyed our standing in the world and made us a less-safe country. If it were not for Iraq we could speak with moral authority on this action.
Hmmm.... if Condi flubs this and causes it to escalate, the military will need more arms, Georgia will buy more arms and American defense contractors will accrue piles of new money to send off-shore. Where's downside in all this?
Republican Disaster Capitalism: putting your tax dollars to work!
Condi said what Russia has done has tarnished their reputation. I guess our invasion of Iraq took a little of our shine off too. She made a big deal of the fact the Russians have killed innocent Georgian citizens. I guess she forgot what happened during Shock and Awe.
Reno @ 18:
Saakashvili would probably end up like Saddam or Noriega anyway after Bush Co got done with them at some point down the line.

"I would like to ask the person who wrote that comment if they know anything about Russia and where do we get those Marines"
bwahaha, and i would luuuuuuuuuuuv to hear their edu-ma-cated response
I notice that no one has mentioned that Condi was just there in July....and she does not want to meet with Russia- wasn't she the Expert on All things Russia ?
Condi approach to diplomacy: exploit the photo op for her own advantage, excrete a few useless platitudes, then return home in time for the next shoe sale.
What has not been emphasized enough about her is that she is fundamentally too lazy to do that job. Diplomacy is hard work. Ask Kofi Annan about his recent successes in warding off the decline in the political situation in Kenya.
Condi wanted to go to France because well, the shopping is devine there and in Russia, not so much.
Has Rummy the Dummy responded yet?
Did he call Saakashvili and say "you fight with the army you have not the one you wish you had".
I love how Georgia is seen as the victim. Especially with all that "democracy" they have going on, with dubious elections and violent crackdowns on the opposition. Their insane incompetent president just bit off more than he could chew. South Ossetia wants to be part of Russia. Georgia only has itself to blame for this one.
Thanks guys.

"A virtual project"....LMAO
Whats Condi girl going to say?

For real. He was in Crimea. I am smelling something foul and it isn't Borscht.
This is what happens when a country has no way to respond because its military is stretched too thin and engaged in other conflicts that are draining its military resources. Yur doin' uh heckuva job, Chimpy!
Frybread @ 46:
Well, even if the military was fresh and without any current involvement, I doubt that a frontal attack against Russia for an internal matter would have been greenlighted by the chiefs of staff.

Saakashvili has to be dumber then Bush. No way I can get behind this moron.
The Georgian people need to wake up to it too before it's to late and he really screws them over.

Shit, I feel so much safer now that I know Rice-o-phony is gonna save us all.... Heck, doesn't everyone??? Well?? well??? What is that.. A cricket chirping??? Condi honey? That's not a sigh of relief... it's a groan of disgust.. Georgie? They be laffin at you boy, not with yas...... Your best move?? Just go ahead and head off to the ranch to clear some brush... At least you won't be in the way fucking shit up worse than it already is.....JD
Tyler Durden @ 47:
You're right, but I wanted to point out that Dumbya is out of his number one option -- the military option -- because of his foray into Iraq. We all know he is a shit diplomat so that's off the table.
Jesus, couldn't we just try to get out of the messes we are already in before we start another bigger and possibly more deadly mess? This is Russia we are talking about and they are one of Iran's friends. Do we really want to get all the fucking hornets in the world stirred up?
Bush Co. and the UN can't/won't do anything but protest strongly. Is the goal to add Georgia to the Russian Federation?
Strange while this extremely serious conflict is going on, Bush is at the olympics for four days and now hes going on a two week vacation.
And while Bush is gone McCain steps in like an acting president to show of his foreign policy "expertise", and to boast about how well he "knows" Saakashvili. As it happens Obama is also on vacation so McCain has the stage all to himself
...“unwavering support”...
We will send in as many words as needed - nothing will deter us from deploying the highest of rhetorical device. We will send in the nouns. We will send in the pronouns. We will deploy the 152nd adverb wing. Most importantly, we will not hesitate to use the verb!
"The pre-emptive doctrine via Bush and Cheney sure has been expanded in this instance."
The Russians have a doctrine as well. We are treading on very thin ice here.
"In January 2000, the Russian Government released its new nuclear policy in a document entitled Concept of National Security. The document updates policy statements made in 1993 and 1997, and indicates a heightened sense of conflict with NATO and the US on nuclear issues, and an increased reliance on nuclear weapons. It affirms a strengthened Russian policy for the use of nuclear weapons, not only in response to a nuclear attack, but also to a conventional attack.
Cooperation between the US and Russia, including the Cooperative Threat Reduction Programs to secure Russian nuclear weapons and fissile materials, have come under strain in the wake of NATO expansion, the NATO attacks on Serbia and the decision by the US to move ahead with National Missile Defense. Russia no longer maintains a 'no-first-use' policy, and is considering re-deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. The Russian Duma (Parliament) ratified START II on the basis that the ABM Treaty be maintained. Thus US plans to withdraw from the ABM are prompting Russia to maintain a number of START II missiles, and possibly even increase the numbers of warheads on some of them.
See: Russian / Soviet Doctrine
Can we get this straight once and for all? Condi is not, and has never been, good for anything. She is a total and complete incompetent.
Furthermore, bugger this "expert in all-things-Russian" hooey. The only thing she can do now is either make things worse or run around covering up the fact that she was useless in this matter as in all others.

It's utterly ridiculous. It's not on the table, it's not even worth thinking about. Military action against Russia is out of the question.
In fact, the fact that this being turned into a big deal, when these areas haven't been under Tblisi's control for years only goes to show the total ignorance going around.
In other news, the Russian 14th Army has been present in the Russian-loyal Moldovan breakaway republic of Transdniestr for 16 years now. And that's not even in Caucasus but in Europe!!

I just heard some airhead on CNN ask the guest on the show how could bush get the attention back to him. She said something to the effect that McCain was now sort of seen as the man in charge of things regarding the problem in Georgia.

Certainly they've turned us into one big ol' paper tiger, galactic idiots that they are.
galmud @ 55:
Bush is going to delay leaving on his vacation for a couple of days to see how things play out in Georgia. Dana Perino made the announcement at today's briefing.
It's obvious Georgia was given the green light into attacking South Ossetia by the US. Why? Is it to smear Russia in advance of a attack on Iran? The Western media has clearly been ignoring the fact that Georgia launched an attack on South Ossetia killing hundreds if not thousands and they are clearly in smear Russia mode.
Did the US use Georgia to throw up a "media smoke screen" to hide the fact the U.S. is in the process of deploying the largest naval deployment since 1991 as 3 more Naval ships, USS Iwo Jima, USS Ronald Reagan, USS Theodore Roosevelt, are joining the ones already in the Persian Gulf.
Yes, how dare Russia react to the ethinic cleansing of the South Ossetian people and attack upon their peacekeepers by the Georgian army.
It feels like im living in Disneyland with Condi, Cheney and Bush accusing Russia of aggression, whilst not mentioning the fact that Georgia started this whole thing and nearly dragged us all into world war 3.
But I guess they know Americans don't y'know... read.

Abbybwood @ 86:
I went there but the sound didn't work. Yeah, my speakers are on.
Here (at the end of the page) is what Putin thought about the west's (the U.S.) potential help for Georgia:
"...the Russian Duma held hearings on recognition of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transnistria, a pro-Russian breakaway republic in Moldova. Moscow argued that the West's logic on Kosovo should apply as well to these ethnic communities seeking to free themselves from the control of a hostile state. And then, in mid-April, Putin held out the possibility of recognition for the breakaway republics.
Now things began to degenerate rapidly. On April 21, Saakashvili called the Russian leader to demand that he reverse the decision. He reminded Putin that the West had taken Georgia's side in the dispute. And Putin, according to several of Saakashvili's associates, shot back with a suggestion about where they could put their statements. Saakashvili, prudent for once, shied from uttering the exact wording, but said that Putin had used "extremely offensive language," and had repeated the expression several times."

Condi is ONLY going for the shoes... She has no intention of spending any time doing anything about Russia / Georgia because she knows nothing of the reality regarding the situation on the ground.

Surely he knows he's going to get blasted for this. Which makes me think the fix is already in. Hell, even a large portion of the GOP didn't want him. And Many still don't.
This has bad news written all over it trying to provoke the Russian's is not smart (They have no sense of Ha Ha)
It is time to make it clear to the government that citizens don't want to play this game.
it is called Russian roulette for a reason they invented it.

You cant make this guy look any more stupid

The Truth Hurts @ 129:
Condescension into inhumanity betrays who we truly are, regardless of whatever Mr. Rove or anyone else chooses to say and lands us into the same gutter of ignorance and sickness.
And when asked what options he thought the U.S. had in dealing with the Russians, President Bush stated, "If they don't pull out now, I will fart in their general direction".....
Ratface @ 130:
Yea,,, like when we pushed back Grenadian aggression under a previous featless leader.
Marc @ 136:
McInsane's greatest physical challenge is between his ears.
a.j.joe @ 109:
I have not come down against Russia. South Ossetia wants to reunite with North Ossetia from what I have read. They were part of larger Russia and now want to become part again. One thing I will say, if Bush and Cheney come down one way, I'm going the other on this one. They lie and lie and lie and lie and lie.....
olo @ 138:
Not really... I doubt that Russian youth were flocking to the fine South Ossetia School of Medicine because they couldn't hack it in Mother Russia.

Marc @ 127:
McCain's arms were broken during ejection.
I'd feel sorry for the man if he had managed to find compassion for other human beings after experiencing war first hand. But since his "handicap" did not interfered with his skirt chasing... I'd say he is fair game.
Respect is earned, not granted.
This whole thing is how Bush will remain in power. Remember, a while back, Putin said he was planning on staying around - then Bush said he was thinking about it too.
Here she comes to save the day---it's Mighty Mouth---oy vey!
bmw H. 528 @ 145:
I asked this question over 4 years ago.
"Just what exactly has she ever accomplished while serving in the White House ?"
I'm still waiting for someone to answer that.
Dennis @ 142:
What did I do wrong ?
Or how should I post a link in the right fashion that would not be considered Spamming the site.
{ Posting the same link on different threads is not only Off Topic on different threads, it's also considered spamming Dennis.
I suggest you read the commenting policy. Thank You. SiteMonitor}
OK I understand and am sorry and won't do it again i just get a little carried away with myself sometimes.
Again sorry.
{ No Problem Dennis, Enjoy. SiteMonitor}
mudshark @ 146:
I bet we'll be waiting a looooong time for that answer Mudshark. Her job qualifications? Being a syncophant puppet for the Buschcovite Politboro. She has a PhD in Sovietology, how fitting she has a doctorate in a defunct and failed political system serving a morally bankrupt and corrupt administration.
I will be as happy to get rid of this stupid bitch, as I will be to see her big daddy out of power.
I hope that her life after politics, is as miserable as she and her big daddy has made for the American people.
I hope she is hounded and tormented for the remainder of her disgusting life, provided we are not able to put her ass behind bars.
